Althoughhard to quantify, social issues can be very important for students, for example: personalinteractions with instructors and fellow students, (both of which may provide benefits such ascomfort, reassurance, and some feeling of control); the advantages and pressures of belonging toa group; humor and unexpected events that liven up the classroom experience.

moving more and more toward an online oriented education, thefuture of this type of exam is questionable. Strictly online universities are moving toward theopen-book open-web based (OBOW) exams because of the logistics associated with online examparticipation. Williams and Wong have basically demonstrated that with higher educationevolving in terms of technological changes that include uses of multimedia, online pedagogies,and flexible delivery of courses, the traditional final examination has become a somewhatinflexible proposition for such emerging online global universities4.

Depending upon the school district, as students matriculate tohigh school, they may be afforded more choices from which they can begin to tailor theireducation towards the future career they envision for themselves. Students in school districtsoffering numerous curricula to select from face further complications in the selection of acurriculum of academic study. There are many influencing factors that affect the choice of theacademic curriculum that they select to pursue. At this point in their education, few students willhave full understanding of the numerous curricula and the different disciplines. Therefore, it isvery difficult for a student to make a highly-informed decision regarding the selection of thediscipline that he/she is

students' discussions of energy differ across majors (engineering vs. social science)2. Background and Literature Review2.1 Energy Literacy in ResearchEnergy literacy is an important cross disciplinary concept that emerged as a critical element incultivating the public’s understanding of energy issues. According to DeWaters and Powers whodevised a prominent energy literacy scale, “an informed, energy-literate public will be betterequipped to make thoughtful, responsible energy-related decisions and actions.” [[7] p. 1699]. Itis important to note that the emphasis on energy literacy first emerged because of the 1973 oilembargo which was a temporary ban on oil exports from the Middle Eastern Organization ofPetroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to the

With today’sinternet technology and social networking capabilities, it seems feasible to provide superior edu-cational opportunities for a much larger and more diverse population of people. The online me-dium is not only a venue for educational innovation through experimental teaching methods, butalso a source of new information (e.g., through online surveys and tracking of student progress).Online experiences should lead to further improvements in modern educational techniques andmethods.

(In the case of a spoken language, information is presented using technologies that must be mastered, such as laboratories with recorders.) ≠ “Germane cognitive load” was first described by Sweller, van Merrienboer, and Paas in 1998 [4]. It is that load devoted to the processing, construction, and automation of schemata necessary to integrate knowledge into consciousness. This includes motivations to learn and how the knowledge is conveyed in the rest of the curriculum such as reading novels, or programming mathematical algorithms. These three loads are additive in the learning process and research suggests [4] that whencourses are

A goal of our revised assessment process was to specifically includeonline classes.When revising summative assessments for traditional courses to gather information for ABETaccreditation review, a group of Manufacturing Engineering Technologies and Supervision(METS) Department faculty devised an assessment tool that can be creatively adapted to fitonline or traditional courses by incorporating the University-sanctioned evaluation questions tocreate an assessment process that would obtain data which would be school or
